A grandmother and a little girl who was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo. The children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
"You have so many freckles, there's no place to paint" a boy in the line cried.
Embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head. Her grandmother knelt down next to her. "I love your freckles," she said.
"Not me" the little girl replied.
"Well, when I was little girl I always wanted freckles. Freckles are beautiful."
The little girl looked up. "Really?"
"Of course." said the grandmother, "Why just name one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little girl peered into the old woman's smiling face. "Wrinkles" she answered softly.
